UE AT I C I, . 

THE D] 

There was a Time, If Time it can be named; 

In Alons back, before all Forms were framed; 

When Chaos reigned, when Darkness covered 411 j 

And when impenetrable Night, hung as a pall 

At the Borders of the Uncreat 1 , Eternal LIGHT; 

In whose very Center dwelt, with All- Creative Might, 

The First Cause of All Things, - The Source of All; 

When GOD was ALL, and In Himself was ALL. - 

a .#.#.#.#.4 .v , 
There was a Time, if Time it can be named; 
When GOD the Heavens and the Earth had framed; 
When all the Stars were made; when LIGHT proceeded forth; 
Caused by the Great Command, said through the WORD; 
That from the Beginning, before His Works of Old, 
Had been with GOD; - so in Holy Writ it's told : 
- " LET THERE BE LIGHT ! " - and - ■ There was Light. " 
For, GOD, Himself the LIGHT, shed forth this Light. - 

How and when GOD, the Heavens and the Stars had made; 

And when the Foundations of the Earth He laid, 

Is not revealed; - neither by Word or Script of ol 

The Secrets of those Alons were never told; - 

Nor when He the Angels made, that Heavenly Host, 

Of purest Light creat', and as His WORD almost; 

That WORD, that through GOD'S Power All Forms had made, 

When GOD Omnipotent, out of Himself, All Things had made. 



Nor is it told, when first All Life proceeded forth; 

Lf- Existing LIFE, GOD alone had and His WORD. - 
And when the Darkness of the impenetrable Night 
Was changed by that Great Command : " LET THE -:T 1 
Then were those Alons ended, together with all Chao:: , 
And out of Aions, Time was born, - out of Chaos, Cosmos. - 
With the Light, that had been given, came also Life. 
GOD, The Self- Existing LIFE, brought forth All Life. - 

That Immortal LIFE, possessed by GOD, had none; 

T'was to none of the Angels giv'n; - but His SON, 

His First Begotten, Well Belov'd, - " The WORD, " 

That from GOD, His FATHER, had proceeded forth, 

Alone received this LIFE; with His FATHER'S LOVE; 

That LOVE Supreme, that's only found In GOD Above; 

And through This, - The FATHER and The SON are ONE. 

ONE - are - FATHER and SON 1 - LOVE had made BOTH OLE. - 

And the HOLY GHOST, too, in Fullest Measure, 

Receiv'd the SON; - 'T was by His FATHER'S Pleasure. - 

Of His Own SPIRIT, had He giv'n to His SONj 

That by the Same, His Well- Belov'd, this HOLY OliE, 

Be well prepared, to be the Representative 

Of GOD; and of His Will, the True Executive. - 

THREE there are in Heaven, - and - The THREE are ONI 

FATHER, SON and HOLY OHOST 1 - Those THREE Are ONE- - 



THE SIX GREAT DAYS C^ CREATION 

- In Six Days, GOD, Creation had completed. - 
The Heavens and the Earth had been created; 

Light and Life came forth; but the Earth was formleu 
And upon the Face of the Deep there was Darkness; 
Upon the Face of the Waters, GOD'S SPIRIT moved; 
■ The LIGHT, " Darkness from Light had removed; 
Darkness, GOD call'd Night; the Light, He had call'd Day. 

- Evening and Morning I - T'was Creation's First Great Day. - 

And GOD had made the Firmament, call'd atmosphere, 

T'was of gas a ring; encircling the Earth everywhere; 

The last ring it was; for others had preceeded it; 

Containing minerals, in a fiery, molten fluid; 

Cast out by force centrifugal; again removed, 

As re- atract' by gravitation. - It's by latest Science proved. 

It kept the Waters above, from those below, 'way. 

- GOD call'd it Heaven. - Or Creation, the Second Day. - 

The Waters gather 'd, which under the Heav'n had been, 
Unto one Place; and now, - dry land could be seen; 
T'was done by GOD; obey'd was the Great Command; 
Waters, He call'd Seas; and Earth, He called the Land. 
And again, GOD had commanded through His WORD, 

- T'was well obeyed, - that the Earth should now bring forth 
All kinds of Plants with Seeds, wherein new Life would lay. 

- And, t'was Evening and Morning I - The Third Great Day. - 



Let Heaven's Firmament with Llght3 be lighted; 

By these shall the Day from the Night be divided; 

Thus said GOD. - A greater and a lesser Light. 

Day to be ruled by the first, by the last the Night, 

He set with all the Stars, which He made also, 

In the Firmament of Heaven, - Ages ago. - 

All the Constellations were in brightest array. 

- And again, - Evening and Morning I - The Fourth Great Day. 

The Time now came, when through GOD'S Almighty WORD, 
The Waters, the moving Creatures had brought forth; 
And every winged Fowl, that In the Air could fly; 
Each of its kind, - with its own Life to multiply. 
On Earth and in Water, to all Creatures that moved, 
GOD said : In a manner, as to each it behooved, 
Fruitful to be. - All multiplied, in kind, and - way; 

- T'was Evening and Morning : - The Fifth Great Day. - 

And now again, GOD spoke and said through His WORD : 
Let Earth, Living Creature of its kind bring forth. 

- GOD was obey'd - Living Creatures now everywhere; - 
Beasts of the Field, cattle and creeping Things there were. 

- And now, - of Time to count, - begins the knowledge; 
For GOD said : ■ Let Us Make MAN In Our Image 

And After Our Likeness. " - In His marvellous fa; 

GOD made MAN 1 - male and female. - The Sixth Great Day. - 



THE CREATION OF MAN . 

And thus the Heavens and the Earth were finished; 
The Purpose of GOD, in MAN was accomplished; 
- New Ages began; unknown Aions were no more; 
The impenetrable Night was past for- evermore. - 
In the Heavens Above, were the Sons of Light; 
Their Bodies were shining, as the Sunlight, bright. 
But, in i/an, within himself, his Glory lay; 
And GOD rested from Work, - T'was the Seventh Day. - 

While the Earth had brought forth, and had given Life 
To all of her Creatures, that now were alive; 
In the case of MAN, by the LORD, t'was not so done; 
MAN was created separate; - there was only One. - 
The LORD form'd MAN out of the Dust of the Ground; 
No Life, within the Earth, for his Body was found; 
For, GOD Himself, breathed the Life of a Soul 
In his nostrils. - .VAN now, was a Living Soul. - 

Adam, the name with which GOD, the first MAN had named; 
Whose Body, of the Dust of the Ground had been framed; 
Whose Spirit and Soul, had complet'd his Being; 
Receiv'd Dominion o'er All he was seeing; 
Over all the Plants, that by GOD were created; 
And o'er all the Creatures, that in pairs were mated. - 
The Creatures, by Sex were divided in their kind; 
But MAN himself, amongst these, no mate could find. - 



-L-L . 



In Fden, beautiful beyond all conception, 

GOD made a Garden for Adam's reception; 

T'was his native Home; in there, the Man was placed; 

His unwearied eyes, here upon new wonders gazed; 

He saw the fruit- bearing trees, shrubs, and flowers, 

Rivers, mountains, dales, groves and cooling bowers; 

All Creatures he named, as each kind came in pair; 

Even the Tiger and Lion came from his Lair. - 

There, the LORD GOD caused Adam to fall asleep; 

His first Sleep it was; - it was most wond'rous deep; 

For, GOD opened his Flesh and his Body wide; 

From a Rib, taken out of Man's wounded Side, 

With the Life of it, that was contain'd therein, 

Healing the Wound again, where this Rib had been, 

GOD made WOMAN; - and to the Man He gave the Same. 

Eve, the first Woman i - Adam gave her the Name. - 

# .* . * . * . •:: . -;, . . . . * 

Thus made GOD, on His Creation's Last Great Day, 
The Human Pair, - in the most marvelous way. - 

In His Image and Likeness, He made them Himself; 

To worship GOD, their Maker, and not their Own- Self, 

T :e gave them Free- Will to obey His Command; 

That they might Live or Die I - To Fall or Stand 1 

The Pair were made perfect, complete every way; 

On this Last One, GOD'S Creation's greatest Day. -

the 

>:0N OF THE MORNING . 
( A Legend • ) 

In all the Glory of effulgent LIGHT arrayed, 
Lucifer, the Arch- Angel, Son of the MORNING, 
Stood at the Right Hand of the Throne of GOD. 
And with Visage, pure and clear, as only Angels have, 
The Works of the Almighty, the Heavenly Spheres, 
He there surveys. 

Beholding thus the Universe, created out of Chaos 
First, in perfect Order before his View; as in revolutions 
Grand, the Comets, Suns and Stars before his eyes were passing 
Himself he sees, a Creature fair and noble, reflecting 
Forth the Kays of Light, that from the Throne of GOD 
Upon him fall. 

Grand and perfect, cf purest Light created; 
By his Maker his very Life preserved, upheld; ( for, 
liothing is and nothing can exist without HIM ), 
He stood worshipping his Maker, while in meditation 
Deep, admiring the Handiwork of GOD. Numberless Creatures, 
Like himself, he sees; cf purest Spirit made, reflecting 
Forth Light ur.defiled; but none as fair as he. - 

He, born of the MORNING, a Creature formed of most 
Translucent Light, colouring with Hue of warmest Rose, 
As of a thousand Orbs of Day, his Essence bright; the Lustre 
Cf fiery Planets flaming in his eyes. - Supreme and 
Splendid at the Right Hand of the Throne of GCD, I: in:self 
He stood, as the grandest creative Splendors of GOD'S 
Thoughts and Dreams, before his unwearied Vision passed. 



From his meditation, while sunk in admiration 
Deep, he, as from a dream awoke; an in the Vista 
Of embryonic Things, he a small new World perceive , 
And - on it, a Being, forming as it were, into Angelic 
Likeness as himself; a Peing weak, yet strong; subline 
Yet foolish; destined, through all the Phases of Life 
To work its ',Vay; until at last, by its Creator's Will, 
To touch nothing less then Conscious Immortality. 

The Great Angel, into complete consciousnesr. of the 
High- Estate he held in Heaven, now fully awakened, 
Thus stood - " A Prince " amongst Princes I A Spirit 
Cr the purest Ether 1 - 

" JON of the MORNING I " - What a Title ! What a Lame 
This was I - How soon and Forever to be lost i And - Never 
To be regained ? - 

For at that instant, unknown to himself, of his 
Existence the supremest Moment had arrived; the Time for 
T.ls Trial had come; as it must and will to every Liv 1 - Soul, 
Created in the Image of its Maker, with Reason ar.d 

- fill. Alike for All this Test, this Trial; in Deg] 
I differing, according to the Light the Creature ha 
From its Creator. It was a Trial - To , - or - To Pall, 
It wan a Trial - For Life Eternal, or Death. 

Two Forces, within this Mighty An, 1, 

very Peing to possess, here were striving. - Arrogance, 
Pride, Egotism, - The Love of Self and Love of ".CD; 

Will, to be submissive to the Will of his Creator 1 - 
Of these two Forces, which one was to conquer him ? 
Which one of these would posses.. ? - 

He alone was Master of the situation; by his oivn 
Free- Will, the Gift cT GOD to every Livi - Soul endowed 
With Reason, he had a Right to chocse ; ■ CCD " or " Self " - 



And - " Self " he chose, and by this decision, 
The High- Estate he held in Heaven, lost, 
Name amongst the Sons of Li , , . 

more was he known as - " Lucj fer " - SOU of the 
MORNING, but - ■ SATAN " - from now on was his Name. 

Put I have overstepped the Theme : The on 
Of the decision, which caused the Angel's Fall, ai 
In the Legend strange, t'was told, awaits to be pursued : - 

- At that great moment, when first he beheld tl la 
New created World; which, while on its own Axis turning, 

s floating like others in the Ether in measur 
.. volutions grand, around its Sun, with Moon and Stars 
As her Companion; and on this World, called " Earth, " 
He there MAN beheld; that small Being, while in Angelic 
Likeness, was in Glory far inferior; created in the Image 
Of GOD Himself it was, and who Himself its Maker was, 
Its Upholder and Preserver; with the Gift of Reason 
And Free- Will He had endowed the same; - Pride, 
Within the Mind of Lucifer, his Reason mastered and 
With it, the Love that he to his Creator owed; - 

Then Lucifer, full of Wrath, to the Maker cf All 
Things created, turned, and with a most reckless defiance 
Aloud to Him cried out; Him, whom he should have worshipped 
re, since of His Omnipotence he had seen more : - 
Wilt Thou make of this small Creature an Angel like 
Myself ? Against Thee I do protest and Thy Action - 
I condemn 1 - For, if Thou makest our Image, I will 
Destroy him utterly, as a Being unfit to chare with me 
At least, - Thy Wisdom, Thy Power and the Glory of Thy Love I " 



And now to him, in Accents most terrible 
But most beautiful, the Voice Supr .ad answerec 
- " Lucifer, Thou CON of the U , lull well thou 

Knowest, that before ME, 110 idle and no wasted Word, 
Ever may be spoken. Free- .'.ill is the Gift from I 
To every Living- Soul, by ME created and endowed 
With Reason; what thou sayest, therefore, thou must dc '. 
Fall 1 From thy High- Estate, proud Spirit, . ! 
To ME, return no more 1 Till MAS Himself shall thee 
Redeem i - Every Soul of MAN, that to thy Temptations 
Yields, a new Barrier shall be, 'twixt thee and 
Highest Heaven, that High- Estate, thou now hast lost; 
But each Soul of MAN, of its own Choice overcoming and 
Repelling thee, shall lift again, thee nearer to thy Hone I 
When the World will reject thee utterly, I then will 
Pardon and again, receive thee back; but not - " Till The: I "

FALL OF MAN . 

This Legend of the Angel's Fall, is very old; 

If it Is true, or not, can never be told. - 

The particulars of hia Fall are not revealed; 

To MAN, those Secrets are Forever fl. . 

'T is enough to know, that Pride had caus'd his Fall; 

- It's a Truth I - This Lesson should remember All \ - 

When he lost his High- Estate, Honor and Name, 

Angels, having possessed his Spirit, - lost the Same. - 

- • • • ... . . .si- 
Satan out of Heaven, with his Crew, was cast] 
They were cut down to the Ground; to the very Last, - 
And when Satan, as Lightning, from Heaven fell, 
He framed a purpose, - but what ? - It's hard to tell. - 
Was it to destroy ? - Or to form a Kingdom ? - 
Like the One Acove, from where he just had come from ? - 
To Earth, the Home of man, Satan now descended; 
Where soon, -MAN'S Misery begins; - MAN'S Peace soon ended. - 

And now back to Earth, to MAN'S Dwelling- Place, 

To Adam and Eve, to Eden, I my Thoughts retrace. - 

It was to Adam first, that GOD had spoken; 

To MAN, an honor great; of GOD'S Love, a Token. - 

Him, He gave permission, of all the Trees to eat; 

All the Creatures Flesh, should be to him for Meat. - 

Of one Tree alone, to eat, he was forbidden; 

- Knowledge of Good and Evil, - in its Fruit was hidd'n. - 



in 



To Adam said GOD, his MAKER, the Most 

If thou eatest thereof, dying, thou shalt die I " - 

GOD'S Command, by MAN was transferred to his wife; 

Who was made from his Body, that gave her the Lif*-. - 

- And now, . itan, in the Serpent came to Eve, 

By his very Actions, caused her to believe : 

The Tree, for Food was good; pleasir.j to the ey< 

That the eating of the Fruit, would make One Wise. " 

ft.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.* 
The Destiny of all Mankind was in her Land. - 
MAN was on Trial '. - To Live or Die 1 - Fall or Stand ! 
With her Reason, Adam she should have believed; 
T'was through him, GOD'S Command she had received. 
Light she had, and a Free- Will sufficient Btroi , 
To resist Temptation, - to know Right from Wrong. - 
And while in her Hands, was the Destiny of All, 
She ate the Fruit; and so did he. - T'was MAN'S Fall i - 

It.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*, 
But GOD'S All- Seeing Eye could not be deceived. - 
Man, Woman and Serpent their Sentence now received. 
To the latter first, GOD gave the Same and sain" : 
" Because of this, upon thy Head a Curse is laid; 
Upon thy Belly shalt thou go and Dust shalt eat; 
Enmity shall be, ' twixt thee and the Woman's Set 
It shall bruise thy Head; - said the Ruler over All, 
Adding : Thou shalt bruise its Heel. ■ - T'was Satan's Fall. 






- " The Serpent beguiled me; of the Fruit I ate. " - 
This was the answer of Eve to GOD, w: .id : 

" Woman 1 - Woman 1 - What is this, that thou hast don< 

- To the All- Wise GOD, her Act was not unkr.ow:-. - 
Now she, as the second, this Sentence received : 

" In Sorrow, by thee, Childrer, 11 be conceived, 
And brought forth; - multiplied, thy Sorrows shall be; 
And thy Desire, - thy Husband, - shall rule o'er thee. " - 

Adam, the last, for he heark'nd to his wlf^, 

Hi a Sentence now received. - And U La, int his Life I - 

His Own, his Wife's, and his Children's yet unborn. - 

For cursed was the Ground, for his sake; with Thistle and The: 

In the Sweat of his Face, his Bread he Bust eat; 

The Herbs of the Field, for hi , r*ould be his Meat; 

At last, when his Days are ended, - to Dust returr . . 

■ Dust, thou art '. - said GOD, - To Dust, shalt thou ret 

Out of the Garden in Eden, MAN was driv'n; 

His Dominion taken, that to him was £iv'n; 

From the Tree of Life, had he eaten of the same, 

And lived Forever, he was taken from whence he came. 

- Justice, it's true, was now satisfied. - Mercy, never I 
LOVE, form'd a Plan, - so that MAN could live Forever. 
Into Death, MAN fell; from Eternal Death he was freed. 
T'was done by Another I - It was the ft \ -

LOOP . 

Tnere was a Time, and Time, it can be name 

T'was in Ages back; MAN alone is blamed; 

When Sin did reign; when Death stalk 'd o'er the Land; 

For by UAH, forgotten was the LOhD'S Command : 

■ That Each in the Other, a Brother should see; 

And that Each to the Other, a Keeper should be. " - 

- For Erother, his Brother, by Murder did slay. - 

T'was Death ! - Zone the Life ! - in Death, the first Kan lay.

Of Adam and Eve, the firstborn's Name, was Calr ; 
He it was, by whom his Brother Abel was slain. - 
And a Mark, upon Cain, was set by the LORD; 
By whom he was cursed from the Earth, and sent fort; ; 
With a Sister, into another Land, he had fled; 
For she, unto him, as a Wife had been wed. - 

- Through Seth, - in place of Abel born - a Son now came; 
With GOD he walked; - He was no more. - T'is said of Same. - 

The first City upon Earth, by Enoch was built ; 

He gave her his Name; with evil Men she was fill'd. - 

Of Enoch, its Builder, t'was said In Ancient Lore i 

" That he walked with GOD, and - was no more. ■ - 

And when Men had multiplied upon the Land - 

T'was done by them - while obeying GCD'S Command; 

The Sons of GOD, - Angela that with Satan came, 

Took Daughters of Men. - le wives, they took the same. -

Their Children, Mightj became, which were of old, 
Men of Renown; - so in tl . Book it's told; - 
And also Giants, in ti.ose Days, In the Earth had be- 
Their wickedness was great; - by the | t'waa seen. - 
" I will destroy MAN, Beast and Fowl of the A-

Said the LORD. - ■ Of what on Earth, I have ere.: 
I now repent. " - To Himself He had repeated. - 

GOD, a Remnant to save from thia DestructlO] , 

To Noah, to build an Ark, He gave Instruction. - 

He was told, that in this Ship he was to bring, 

Of the Earth, to save its Seed, All Livi 

In Pairs and Sevens; - to* ft eir kind. 

Nor of his Family, to leave one behind. - 

Shem, Ham, Japheth and Noah, with all their wives, 

Aere commanded, the Ark to enter; - to save their Live . 

And now came the fii til , that on t Lh had bet 
Before, a Mist, rising from the Ground, was 3een. - 
And it was, when t Ll . had seen its Day; 
Keeping the Waters Above, from those Below, 'way;

Save in the Ark, their Haven, those t had been; 
Waiting with Patience, until Land could be seen. - 
In GOD, their Saviour, they had placed their Faith; 
Who with Noah, the Leader, a Covenant had made. 

- The SPIRIT of GOD, upon the Waters moved; - 

By a strong Wind from the Land, they were removed. 
And when from the Earth, the Waters had asswaged, 
Resting upon a Mountain, the Ark was wedged. - 

Noah with All, from out of the Ark went forth; 
While obeying GOD their Saviour's Almighty WORD, - 
On an Altar, Offerings he gave, for a Savour; 
That unto GOD he built, - for His Favour. - 

- " The Ground, for MAN'S Sake, shall be cursed no more; 
While Earth remains, her Seasons be Forevermore. " - 
Thus the LORD, in his Heart, - but to Noah, He said : 

" Whoso sheddeth MAN'S Blood, - by MAN 't shall be shed. " 

Noah, GOD gave permission, of all the Things to eat; 
Every moving Thing that lives, should be his Meat. - 
But Flesh to eat with the Blood, he was forbidden; 
For in the Blood, the Creature's Life was hidden. - 

GOD set His Bow in the Cloud, as a Token 
Cf His Covenant, - that through I .:D was spoke 
Of His Covenant, with all His Living Creation. ,
